There are three supported ways of putting Super Grub2 Disk into an usb pendrive. Now you should choose one of them.

Put Super Grub2 Disk into an usb as an ISO image

This is the recommended method for those who have free space in their usb pendrive for Super Grub2 Disk ISO contents but they don’t want to wipe or loose the pendrive contents (as it happens with other methods).

The only disavantage might be that in very rare systems it might not boot because it probably uses a BIOS interruption that might not be available in every system.

I hate the new Super Grub disk. It’s complicated,trying to navigate all the menus is time consuming and hard to install to usb key. I want the old Grub start disk but can’t find it anywhere.This is progress?

I need to find a method for windows. Another method for GNU/Linux. Find a physical machine where windows is installed (Not still sure how to emulate usb insertion and extraction in qemu/kvm). Do it step by step and collect the screenshots.

It’s not as easy as it seems. I prefer to center on the documentation side when Rescatux will get its next stable release.

Their are several ways to use an ISO (image) in most versions of OS, depending on the flavor, (Windows, Linux, etc.) and on how you want to operate it. (booting, or directly in the OS.)
If you need to “Burn” the ISO to make a boot disk, you can a few good programs, (for Windows= windows default to CD/DVD, or ISO2USB for a USB stick.) and Linux, Unetbootin, RUFUS, and the like.

For good measure, follow this link(‘s) and open each subsequent link in a “New TAB” for good measure; (Find a download like of your liking.)

I would like to add the SG2D to my usb flash drive which contains other live distros which I boot via syslinux. I have added the iso and start it in raw mode, however I would like to have the contents in a folder on the flash and boot it with syslinux, how to do it I would like to know. Thank you in advance.

You are not supposed to get into this page from Google. This is an ‘include’ page which it’s used from various wizards / howtos.
The current ‘include’ plugin for wordpress which I’m using does not let me show where an included page has been used elsewhere on the site.

Please use the main page. Under Help, Howtos you will find what you are looking for.

Hello, it’s not booting. I have only UEFI and i tried to create a usb stick with both the uefi yumi installer and the normal installer. With UEFI the yumi grub menu pops up, but i can select only reboot. How can i fix this?
